I was told this 383 HP block came from a 69 Road Runner. Wondering if it is a waranty block as there is an odd number in place of the VIN???? E383 HP -> 9F140705 found at VIN location -> Number pad on driver side of block has a 9 -> Casting number ->

NO 383HP '69 C-bodies it is/was a Y39 "99" paint code Road Runner RM2?H9E140705 built February '69 in LA So was it normal for LA to omit the first six characters of the VIN? My St. Louis built Road Runner has the complete VIN on the block.

My St. Louis built Road Runner has the complete VIN on the block. Yes, but it is really just the first five characters. For example, for my 70 Cuda the block, trans, and body stamps are all missing the BS23N portion of the VIN.

I see 9F not 9E?
Can you get a more straight on photo? Pic is tagged as 9F, possible mis-stamp? "9F140705 found at VIN location ->"

Possible clue? From the same person I purchased this block from I also bought this 69 Road Runner hood in Bahama Yellow. Perhaps from the same car? -> quite probable! Dan, earlier in the thread, before the hood was mentioned, you deduced from a partial VIN the car "is/was a Y39 "99" paint code"I'm curious what your process was for coming to this conclusion? Thanks!

the 2,000+ special order paint (Bahama yellow, rallye green, Omaha orange, corporate blue) '69 Road Runners from LA were assigned VINs in batches
RM23H9E140704 is a restored "Omaha orange" Road Runner Wow! That is amazing. Thanks for weighing in on this.

Dan,
Wasn't the "C-Body" 383 4-BBL, NOT technically an HP engine; but a 383 4BBL engines with HP manifolds, dual snorkel and dual exhaust? 330 HP vs. 335 HP.
In the C-Body world, the 383 4BBL with the HP manifolds, dual snorkel air cleaner and dual exhaust from the factory is our "383 HP" engine package. The alt, was "lo-po" 383 2bbl 290 horse. Correct?
Everything but the cam was the same on the 383 4BBL 330 horse vs. the 383 HP 4bbl 335 horse,....correct? Just 5 HP difference.
Or wrong-O- ?

Or wrong-O- ? I know you addressed Dan but... In the C body world, the C body 330 horse is incorrectly called the HP. From 68-70, there is a specific variant of the 383-4 bbl used in A, B and E (1970) cars that contains different parts and is considered the HP version. There is no 335 horse HP C body assembly. There is no such thing as HP manifolds. There are 2-bbl and 4-bbl manifolds. The 383-2, 383-4 330 horse and 440-4 350 horse all used the same cam. The 335 horse and 440-375 horse used the same cam and associated valve train.
